The Great Lakes Freighter Daniel J. Morrell was just over 600 feet long and on November 29th 1966 it was torn in half in a violent storm. The icy cold waves were over 25 feet tall and high winds. Only one man (Dennis Hale) out of the crew of 29 survived the shipwreck after 37 horrific hours on a raft surrounded by 3 fellow crewmen that had already died. The stern motored another 5 miles closer to shore before it finally sank beneath the surface into 215 feet of water. This is footage from the eerie bow that looks as if it is still sailing on the lake bottom. Inside are the captains quarters and other areas with general alarm signs and the laundry area. I have swam to the break several times in the past to see where the ship was ripped in half. It's a long swim in 38f degree water and average depth 175ft. For more video of the Daniel J. Morrell's engine room and other areas check out my page. To license footage contact Becky@LiquidProductions.com / www.LiquidProductions.com
